Expenses
Details of expenses claimed from the tax payer for 2009-2010
A summary of the expenses that I claimed last financial year is available from links on this page. The summary sets out a comparison of the total claims against each of the Parliamentary allowances and shows a comparison with the total allowance available and with the amounts that I claimed in the previous year. The summary also shows an analysis of the various claims analysed over the categories of Constituency Office costs, Westminster Office costs and my own Parliamentary costs and expenses.
Detailed schedules for each of the allowance categories are set out in Schedules A, C, D and E. These schedules give the full details, item by item, of my claims. Salary details, noted as Sch B on the summaries, are not disclosed in detail because of issues concerning individual employee’s privacy and Data Protection. As I have previously declared, I employ my wife as my Office Manager and Executive Secretary. She works full time in the constituency office under contractual terms set out by Parliament. I have no family relationship with any other member of my staff.
